我研究了一下中国的著作权法，目的是了解在哪年之前拍的电影将不再受到保护。我找了很久也没有找到答案，所以终于往知识共享电子邮件讨论中发信问了问。他们让我参考中华人民共和国著作权法（翻译成英文）。这是我找出的：（第二十一条）
电影作品和以类似摄制电影的方法创作的作品、摄影作品，其发表权、本法第十条第一款第（五）项至第（十七）项规定的权利的保护期为五十年，截止于作品首次发表后第五十年的１２月３１日，但作品自创作完成后五十年内未发表的，本法不再保护。
这意味着在1957年之前拍的电影可以自由发行了。我已经把1941年卡通片《铁扇公主》放在archive.org上了，希望将来能上传更多老电影。
这样关于法律的事情很不容易写。Jess已经帮我改正了一下，多谢！如果还有错误请指出来。
我正在尽量做《铁扇公主》英文字幕，希望会有人来帮助。

Notably, only one of the URLs below work:
http://www.no-www.org vs. http://yes-www.org

After 2 weeks in school I’ve changed classes twice and in the end only take 5 classes with a total of 18 hours per week. The main Chinese class has the greatest teacher ever, teacher Zhang (张老师). She’s a middle aged woman who dresses formally, wears a big smile and doesn’t waste a minute of [...]

The Spring Festival is over and by now I’m almost certain that it’s some kind of mass psychosis. During all the 15 days of celebration there have been fireworks and yesterday the car alarms rang one last time to welcome the new year. I’ve heard that one person was killed and many others injured by [...]

My parents will soon be going home to Sweden, so today we made a last little trip. The destination was the small mountain village Chuandixia (川底下) which is two hours west of Beijing by car. In the morning I talked to one of the “freelance” taxi drivers outside of my gate, gave him a look [...]
